Her guests were the contestants of the 2010 Pillsbury Bake-Off, and at the end of the show they revealed the winner of the $1,000,000 grand prize.

Print This PostThis afternoon I made these lemon squares from Eatingwell.com. My mom makes the most incredible lemon bars. I could probably eat an entire pan if no one stopped me and if I wouldn’t go into a sugar and butter coma afterward. When I came across this recipe I had to see how it compared to [...] By CarrieZ |

My friend Jackie found the recipe in Cooking Light and offered to bring them. They were the perfect end to the meal. The meringues were light and crunchy, the lemon [...] By CarrieZ |

Rice pudding is perfection in a bowl…or on a plate I guess if you like it that way. Rice pudding has an incredible number of variations. It is eaten in many different parts of the world. Each type [...] By CarrieZ |
Print This PostBethenny Frankel was on the Today Show yesterday talking about her cookbook, The Skinny Girl Dish, and I was inspired to search for a healthy dessert recipe to try out. I found a recipe for banana oatmeal cookies that sounded very tasty. To my dismay, I did not have all the ingredients. So I searched [...] By CarrieZ |
Print This PostSome foods will always remind me of my childhood and of family. Among these are my Grandma June’s pecan pie, my mom’s chicken velvet soup, dutch babies, bar-b-cups, spritz cookies, Swedish rye bread at Sundbeck Christmas, Swedish pancakes, and the Rystrom family’s rice pudding. Of course there are plenty more now that I begin brainstorming, [...] |
